Every nightYou wrote another lineWith a bloody, broken, bottleAnd every dayYou wish it awayWhy don't you pull the pinOn that grenadeYou cuddle

I wanted to believeBodies swinging from treesStruggling to standWith your head in your handsA stoic last standOf a dying man

I wanted to believeAs I watched your worldCrumble in your handsI wanted to believeAs you raised your glassTo your last standAnd I wanted to believeYou would winThe war in your headThat I did not understand...I did not understand...

Every nightThe questions poured outOf your wounded eyesDamn dark thingsEvery dayYou used to prayListen to the black raven singYou wanted to believeAs you were falling to your kneesStruggling to standWith your life in your handThe sad last stand Of a broken man

I wanted to believeAs I watched your worldCrumble in your handsI wanted to believeAs you raised your glassTo your last standAnd I wanted to believeYou would winThe war in your headThat I did not understand...I did not understand...

I wanted to believeAs I watched your worldCrumble in your handsI wanted to believeAs you raised your glassTo your last standI wanted to believeYou would winThe war in your headThat I did not understandI did not understand

And the questions poured outAnd the questions pour outI did not understandI did not understandI did not understandI did not understandThe sound of you fallingI did not understandAs the trembling heart of a dying manDid not understandThe sound of a trembling heart
